Suggestions on manufacture for 240 gallon tank

[timkatz71]

I'm looking to get a tank 72"x 24" x 25" or 31" tall. I got a 120 from glass cages about a year ago and not sure if I should go with them again.

Any input?

Thanks ahead of time.

Have you checked out Reef Savy? Several local reefers have tanks built by them. They are amazing.

I 2nd Reef Savvy. I have a 245G built by Felix. Great to work with and the tank is very well built. Mine is 84" x 24" x 28". He also built my sump to my specs. 85G (18" x 18" x 60"). Make sure to include shipping in your price estimates. That won't be cheap.

They didn't reply to me for over a week and asked me a question and its been another 3 or 4 days that i've been waiting...I've not had very good luck with getting responses on tank quotes only 2 out of 6 or 7 have responded to me.

I just requested a quote yesterday for a 36x32x22, hoping to hear back soon.

reefsavy hands down! I will call them directly, it worked for me that way.

They came back with $3000, even if that includes delivery I think that is a bit too high. glass cages was about $2200 including sump and stand.

I got a 180, 72x24x24 a few years back for $450. It was a few years back, my lfs didn't really mark up tanks, manufacurer was close and my region has notoriously cheap tanks, $60 for a 60g is standard. Still with all those factors 6x as much for a similar size tank seems like a lot, is that starphire front? I don't have any suggestions for you other than consider glass cages and be up front about them doing a good job.

Why not check out Coast to Coast? Aren't they in NJ? Seems like I've read good things about them. You could pick it up and save lots of money! I'm planning on having a custom tank built, though not as big as yours, and I've quoted Coast to Coast, Reef Savvy and Miracles. At this point, Miracles is looking best, which came as a big surprise, considering they'll be shipping to AL. It took a long time to get my quote from Reef Savvy too, and the wait is 4 months.

I got mine from glass cages and was perfectly happy.
